Using cryptotephra layers to understand volcanic ash clouds
The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the use of microscopic volcanic ash (‘cryptotephra’) layers for providing information on the timing, characteristics and spatial extent of past volcanic ash clouds. The fine ash produced by explosive eruptions can travel long distances and even in low concentrat...
